They've had players waiting in the wings ready to step in & not miss a beat. I don't see that continuity now. Who's stepping in for Polamalu? Ben? Mendenhall?

In the meantime, in the past couple of years the Browns have had good drafts - Haden, Ward, Richardson, Schwartz, Taylor, Weeden, Gordon, Little. They're the 2nd-youngest team in the league.

Basically, you have two lines on a graph that are moving in opposite directions. It's just a matter of time before they intersect.

As a Browns fan I'm not sold on Little or Weeden.  And I think we need another HB as it is only a matter of time before Richardson is gimping around the way he runs.  The Browns could use another LB and Safety too.

And, you have to consider that he was playing against the best defense every day in practice.

That is what is great about NFL football.  Every fan of every team can legitimately feel optimistic about their team's prospects.

Seen Hardesty run lately? He's more than capable of spelling TR.

Re Weeden, I think he's done pretty well for a rookie. Yeah I know he's 29. He's still a rook. Last check he had 12 TD/13 INT. He's got the arm.

Re Little, he's seem to come around lately. Last year (his first football of any type in 2 years) he dropped way too many passes, and he started this year doing the same. But over the past month or so he's been hanging on to them & even making some nice acrobatic grabs.

We definitely need a Safety. And a CB. And an OLB. Look for the coming draft to be defense-intensive. Offense is pretty much good to go.

Chip Kelly would bring a fresh offensive approach to the Browns.

Kelly just reminds me of Spurrier for some reason, fair or not.

Screw Chip Kelly. I hear he tried to extort Jimmy Haslam for outrageous jack. Also hear he's ambivalent about leaving Oregon. Then don't.

Call Ken Whisenhunt.

Who is going to be the GM?! I don't understand why owners do this. Hire a GM, then a HC.

That's how they did it last time - Heckert then Shurmur. But with Banner on board, he said he & the HC will conduct the draft. In other words, the GM will basically be a glorified scout.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
